INDIANAPOLIS, IN - January 23, 2006 - Indianapolis-based TriMedx, LLC announced today the formation of Axess Ultrasound, a new business unit focused on providing high-quality ultrasound repair and maintenance service to physicians' offices, imaging centers, and other group practices.

Axess Ultrasound will occupy a 19,000 square foot facility based in Indianapolis and will initially employ 20 people, including several highly skilled ultrasound engineers.
